Double Batch

Guf, being a lightweight is rough!! Woke up with a headache today. And shallot breath! BAH! I pittered around in bed on my computer for a while until Matt woke up and then took a shower and an IB profin and am feeling much better after another delightful breakfast.

Filled my bowl with that delicious granola!!! Plus blueberries, banana, and 2%.

And here’s the recipe!!!!!!!!!

Double Batch Buckwheat Granola

Dry
  • 8 cups oats
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 3 cups buckwheat
  • 3 cups sunflower seeds
Wet
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla
Mix Ins
  • 3 cups coconut
  • 2 cups currants

Combine all except coconut and currants in a big metal bowl. Bake at 300* for two hours in the large metal bowl. Stir every 30 minutes. Color should be golden brown. Remove from oven and stir in coconut and currants (these will toast a little from being with the other ingredients). Stir every half our or so while cooling. Cool completely before putting into a container.

We were originally going to run 6 miles this morning and NOT bike, but we decided due to sleepiness and logistics that we should skip the run in the AM and just bike another day. I’m out of clean bikeable clothes and am piecing together a nice shirt and workout shorts!

A few more houses to see, but we think we’ve made our decision :mrgreen:

Gotta get rolling!

    Aww, sorry to hear that your morning didn’t go quite as you’d like it to have, but it’s good that you’re feeling better. ^_^

    And thanks for the recipe! It’s really interesting, I’ve never heard of baking granola in a large bowl before… guess I’ll have to try it out! (Do you know if you can use kasha [already toasted buckwheat] or does it have to be raw buckwheat groats?)

    That granola DOES look good! I bet it’s the oil that makes it splendid…whenever I add just a bit of oil to my granola it tastes 500x better. Happy biking and house hunting!

    Oh Kath, you are awesome! Thanks for getting this recipe! I am always on the look-out for buckwheat recipes and this sounds delish! With your recommendation (and even Matt’s), we are definitely gonna make some this weekend and see what my husband thinks. Anything to get more whole grains into him! Since he doesn’t like coconut, maybe I’ll split the double batch into two bowls and make half for me per recipe and improvise with his. Thanks so much! Hope your headache goes away… where’s that coconut water when you need it???

I’m only two entries in so far, but I’m having so much fun with it πŸ™‚ I know you probably get requests to check out people’s blogs a lot, but I would love it if you would check mine out: http://www.mealmuse.wordpress.com.

    Hey Kath! First time commenter, long time reader, but Cville is my college town so I had to say something! I’m sure you’re tired of hearing recommendations of places to go, but if you have time, Continental Divide is an awesome place with really great food! Take It Away on the Corner is a really great sandwich place, used to go there weekly! And of course, Arch’s:) Good luck house hunting!

    Thank you for the recipe. I want to make it, but probably half it since it’s only me that’s going to eat it. Do you know if they store well? I’m assuming since the recipe is for a big batch that they would store well.

    Thank you.

      I made this recipe this morning! Absaloutely delish! The little buckwheat “crunchies” MAKE this granola. I’ve made granola more times than i can count and yes, it does keep well, I like to use a nice big glass canister for storage. Another good option is to freeze half your batch. Works great.

      You can always halve the honey and replace it with water. I’ve been doing that with my granola. It turns out a bit more like toasted museli than a true granola but still delicious and not as sweet or as high in calories.

    Thanks so much for this recipe! I made 1/4 of the “Double Batch” a few days ago and LOVED the addition of buckwheat. It has such a great crispy crunch but it’s not so hard that you feel like your cracking your teeth. I think I might make it a permanent addition to my homemade granola!
